I’m ambivalent about Golda Mier and her prowess which always gets such a nod.
She was caught off guard at the start of Yom Kippur when she shouldn’t have been.
She gets a cult following for looking like grandma.
Not that she wasn’t important.....maybe just overrated.
I have Israeli friends who fought in Yom Kippur who first told me this back in 1980 or so.
Will take your word for it because I didnt pay that much attention to it years ago. But even if she was just a figurehead, she probably would be a better leader than the weak and gutless Olmert. They need a coup.
